Famille Perrin Peyre Blanche Côtes du Rhône-Villages Cairanne 2012

Moving to the barrels samples, the 2012 Famille Perrin Cairanne Peyre Blanche is a blend of 80% tank-aged Grenache and 20% barrel-aged Syrah that comes from an estate that was purchased by the Perrin Family in 2008. Made with an emphasis on fruit, it is a pretty, lively Cairanne that exhibits plenty of raspberry and dark berry fruit, violets and floral aromas and flavors. Showing juicy acidity and excellent overall purity, it has outstanding potential and will deliver the goods over the coming 6-7 years. Drink 2014-2020. Score - 88-90.
